607 F.3D 68 Colleen M. SALINGER and Matthew R. Salinger, As 607 F.3d 68 Colleen M. SALINGER and Matthew R. Salinger, as Trustees of the J.D. Salinger Literary Trust, Plaintiffs- Appellees, v. Fredrik COLTING, writing under the name John David California, Windupbird Publishing Ltd., Nicotext A.B., and ABP, Inc., doing business as SCB Distributors, Inc, Defendants-Appellants. Docket No. 09-2878-cv. United States Court of Appeals, Second Circuit. Argued: Sept. 3, 2009. Decided: April 30, 2010. Plaintiff-Appellee J.D. Salinger (now represented by trustees of the J.D. Salinger Literary Trust) brought suit in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (Deborah A. Batts, Judge) against Defendants-Appellants Fredrik Colting, Windupbird Publishing, Ltd., Nicotext A.B., and ABP Inc. claiming copyright infringement and unfair competition. Salinger alleged that Colting’s novel 60 Years Later Coming Through the Rye is derivative of Salinger’s novel The Catcher in the Rye. The District Court granted Salinger’s motion for a preliminary injunction; Defendants appeal. We hold that the Supreme Court’s decision in eBay, Inc. v. MercExchange, L.L.C., 547 U.S. 388 (2006), which articulated a four-factor test as to when an injunction may issue, applies with equal force to 3 preliminary injunctions issued on the basis of alleged copyright infringement. Therefore, although we conclude that the District Court properly determined that Salinger has a likelihood of success on the merits, we vacate the District Court’s order and remand the case to the District Court to apply the eBay standard. [...] Before: CALABRESI, CABRANES, HALL, Circuit Judges. CALABRESI, Circuit Judge: Defendants-Appellants Fredrik Colting, Windupbird Publishing Ltd., Nicotext A.B., and ABP, Inc. appeal from an order of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (Deborah A. Batts, Judge) granting Plaintiff-Appellee J.D. Salinger's[1] motion for a preliminary injunction. The District Court's judgment is VACATED and REMANDED. BACKGROUND I. Salinger published The Catcher in the Rye (hereinafter “Catcher”) in 1951. Catcher is a coming-of-age story about a disaffected sixteen-year-old boy, Holden Caulfield, who after being expelled from [71] prep school wanders around New York City for several days before returning home. The story is told from Holden's perspective and in his “own strange, wonderful, language.” Nash Burger, Books of the Times, N.Y. Times, July 16, 1951. Holden's adventures highlight the contrast between his cynical portrait of a world full of “phonies” and “crooks” and his love of family, particularly his younger sister Phoebe and his deceased younger brother Allie, along with his developing romantic interest in a childhood friend, Jane Gallagher. While his affection for these individuals pushes him throughout the novel toward human contact, his disillusionment with humanity inclines him toward removing himself from society and living out his days as a recluse. He ultimately abandons his decision to live as recluse when Phoebe insists on accompanying him on his self-imposed exile. Catcher was an instant success. It was on the New York Times best-seller list for over seven months and sold more than one million copies in its first ten years. [...]To date it has sold over 35 million copies, [...]influenced dozens of literary works, and been the subject of “literally reams of criticism and comment,” [...]Literary critic Louis Menand has identified Catcher “rewrites” as a “literary genre all its own.”[2] Holden at Fifty: “The Catcher in the Rye” and What It Spawned, The New Yorker, Oct. 1, 2001. The Holden character in particular has become a cultural icon of “adolescent alienation and rebellion,” [...]a “moral genius” “who refuses to be socialized.” [...] Inseparable from the Catcher mystique is the lifestyle of its author, Salinger.[3] Shortly after publishing Catcher, Salinger did what Holden did not do: he removed himself from society. Salinger has not published since 1965 and has never authorized any new narrative involving Holden or any work derivative of Catcher.[...]Other than a 1949 film adaptation of one of his early short stories, Salinger has never permitted, and has explicitly instructed his lawyers not to allow, adaptations of his works. [...]He has, however, remained in the public spotlight through a series of legal actions to protect his intellectual property. [...]Salinger has registered and duly renewed his copyright in Catcher with the U.S. Copyright Office. II. Defendant-Appellant Fredrik Colting wrote 60 Years Later: Coming Through the Rye[...]under the pen name “John David California.” Colting published 60 Years Later with his own publishing company, Defendant-Appellant Windupbird Publishing, Ltd., in England on May 9, 2009. Copies were originally scheduled to be available in the United States on September 15, 2009. [...]Colting did not seek Salinger's permission to publish 60 Years Later[...] 60 Years Later tells the story of a 76-year-old Holden Caulfield, referred to as “Mr. C,” in a world that includes Mr. C's 90-year-old author, a “fictionalized Salinger.”[72][4] The novel's premise is that Salinger has been haunted by his creation and now wishes to bring him back to life in order to kill him. Unsurprisingly, this task is easier said than done. As the story progresses, Mr. C becomes increasingly self-aware and able to act in ways contrary to the will of Salinger. After a series of misadventures, Mr. C travels to Cornish, New Hampshire, where he meets Salinger in his home. Salinger finds he is unable to kill Mr. C and instead decides to set him free. The novel concludes with Mr. C reuniting with his younger sister, Phoebe, and an estranged son, Daniel. In bringing this suit, Salinger underscores the extensive similarities between 60 Years Later and Catcher. First, Mr. C is Holden Caulfield. Mr. C narrates like Holden, references events that happened to Holden, and shares many of Holden's notable eccentricities. [...]Also, Mr. C's adventures parallel those of Holden. Both characters leave an institution, wander around New York City for several days, reconnect with old friends, find happiness with Phoebe, and ultimately return to a different institution. Finally, within these broader structural similarities, the novels contain similar scenes, such as a climactic carousel scene. [...] Salinger also cites Defendants' efforts to market 60 Years Later as a sequel to Catcher. The back cover of the United Kingdom edition describes the novel as “a marvelous sequel to one of our most beloved classics.” [...]In a 2009 interview in the Guardian, Colting describes 60 Years Later as “[j]ust like the first novel.... He's still Holden Caulfield, and has a particular view on things.” [...] Colting responds that 60 Years Later is not, and was never intended to be, a sequel to Catcher. Rather, Colting claims that it is a “critical examination of the character Holden and the way he is portrayed in [ Catcher], the relationship between Salinger and his iconic creation, and the life of a particular author as he grows old but remains imprisoned by the literary character he created.” [...]In support of this claim, Colting first emphasizes that a main character in 60 Years Later-Salinger himself, who narrates portions of the novel-does not appear in Catcher. Next, he explains how the Mr. C character evolves from a two-dimensional and absurd version of a sixteen-year-old Holden into a real person with a rich life completely apart from Catcher. Finally, he relies upon the declarations of two literary experts. Martha Woodmansee, a professor of English and law at Case Western Reserve University, described 60 Years Later as a “work of meta-commentary” that “pursues critical reflection on J.D. Salinger and his masterpiece [ Catcher] just as do the articles that literary scholars conventionally write and publish in scholarly journals, but it casts its commentary in an innovative ‘post modern’ form, specifically, that of a novel.” [...]Robert Spoo, a professor at the University of Tulsa College of Law, found 60 Years Later to be a “sustained commentary on and critique of Catcher, revisiting and analyzing the attitudes and assumptions of the teenaged Holden Caulfield. In this respect, [ 60 Years Later] is similar to a work of literary criticism.” [...] [73] III. On July 1, 2009, the District Court granted Salinger's motion for a preliminary injunction, barring Defendants from “manufacturing, publishing, distributing, shipping, advertising, promoting, selling, or otherwise disseminating any copy of [60 Years Later], or any portion thereof, in or to the United States.” [...]In doing so, it found that (1) Salinger has a valid copyright in Catcher and the Holden Caulfield character, (2) absent a successful fair use defense, Defendants have infringed Salinger's copyright in both Catcher and the Holden Caulfield character, (3) Defendants' fair use defense is likely to fail, and (4) a preliminary injunction should issue. The District Court disposed of the first two issues in its decision's introduction. Defendants did not contest that Salinger has a valid copyright in Catcher. And regarding the Holden character, the Court stated that the character is “sufficiently delineated so that a claim for infringement will lie.” [...]The Court elaborated on this finding in a June 17, 2009 hearing: Holden Caulfield is quite delineated by word. It is a portrait by words. It is something that is obviously seen to be of value since the effort is made [by defendants] to recall everything that the character in the book does.... It is difficult, in fact, to separate Holden Caulfield from the book [...]Having found a valid copyright in both Catcher and the Holden character, the Court concluded that “there is substantial similarity between Catcher and [ 60 Years Later], as well as between the character Holden Caulfield from Catcher, and the character Mr.

  • A Journal of Theory and Practice Fall 2016 (8:3)
    Teaching American Literature: A Journal of Theory and Practice Fall 2016 (8:3) Allie, Phoebe, Robert Emmet, and Daisy Mae: Love, Loss, and Grief in J.D. Salinger's The Catcher in the Rye and Alice McDermott's Child of My Heart Gail S. Corso, Neumann University Abstract: Adolescents in literature often leave their significant losses understated, especially the death of one's sibling or a surrogate type of sibling, or suicide of a peer. Each causes certain behaviors that seem to express inconsolable grief, and when left unaddressed, aberrant behavior, and resistance to cultural norms. The surviving adolescent may rebel against family and societal norms that he/she observes, norms that seem unjust or phony. Each adolescent, too, may seem ambivalent about their sexuality and unaware of their vulnerabilities. While Holden and Theresa share some of these features, they differ with regard to the presence of love in their lives. In each story, The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger, and Child of My Heart by Alice McDermott, parents of the narrator-protagonist seem to repress their own feelings about the loss, or they neglect to communicate openly about the loss with the surviving adolescent sibling. The structure and breaks in the narrative which are evident in each character's story return to pivotal moments—often a minimally-described traumatic event in the narrative which seems silenced by parents in each adolescent's family. In this comparison of character's responses to loss, interpersonal relationships are examined, as are results of psychological research about how adolescents respond to a sibling death.

    This book was first published in 1951 by Little, Brown and Company. THE CATCHER IN THE RYE By J.D. Salinger © 1951 CHAPTER 1 If you really want to hear about it, the first thing you'll probably want to know is where I was born, an what my lousy childhood was like, and how my parents were occupied and all before they had me, and all that David Copperfield kind of crap, but I don't feel like going into it, if you want to know the truth. In the first place, that stuff bores me, and in the second place, my parents would have about two hemorrhages apiece if I told anything pretty personal about them. They're quite touchy about anything like that, especially my father. They're nice and all--I'm not saying that--but they're also touchy as hell. Besides, I'm not going to tell you my whole goddam autobiography or anything. I'll just tell you about this madman stuff that happened to me around last Christmas just before I got pretty run-down and had to come out here and take it easy. I mean that's all I told D.B. about, and he's my brother and all. He's in Hollywood. That isn't too far from this crumby place, and he comes over and visits me practically every week end. He's going to drive me home when I go home next month maybe. He just got a Jaguar. One of those little English jobs that can do around two hundred miles an hour.

  • The Catcher in the Rye by J.D
    Reading Guide The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger The Catcher in the Rye By J.D.Salinger About the book Although The Catcher in the Rye caused considerable controversy when it was first published in 1951, the book was also an instant hit (it was #1 on the New York Times Bestseller list for thirty weeks in a row). Catcher as ever since remained popular, especially with teenagers who embrace Holden Caulfield’s brash style and anti-establishment attitude. The book has also been the bane to many parents because of its sexual themes and use of obscene language. J.D. Salinger, the author, was aware of the controversy: “I’m aware that many of my friends are saddened and shocked over some of the chapters in The Catcher in the Rye. Some of my best friends are children. It’s almost unbearable for me to realize that my book will be kept on a shelf out of their reach.” For some reason-- perhaps the controversy over Catcher-- Salinger retreated from the literary world in the 1960s to a country house in Cornish, New Hampshire, where he lived a private life and avoided almost all press until his death. About the author Born in 1919 to a prosperous Manhattan family, Jerome David Salinger grew up in a New York City not unlike that of young Holden Caulfield. Salinger was never a diligent student: after he flunked out of several prep schools, including the prestigious McBurney School, his parents sent him to Valley Forge Military academy in Pennsylvania, from which he graduated in 1936.

    THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY SCHREYER HONORS COLLEGE DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH CENSOR IN THE RYE JOSHUA D. YOM SPRING 2016 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for a baccalaureate degree in English with honors in English Reviewed and approved* by the following: Robert Caserio Professor of English Thesis Supervisor Marcy North Associate Professor of English Honors Adviser * Signatures are on file in the Schreyer Honors College. i ABSTRACT J.D. Salinger’s 1951 novel The Catcher in the Rye is a cult-classic in the canon of American literature, most commonly recognized as a “vulgar” book, subject to censorship and banning. This thesis argues that Catcher not only draws censorship, but offers treatment of censorship, particularly in the novel’s conclusion, in conjunction with a selection of Salinger’s preceding, developmental writings on Holden and the Caulfield family. Five of Salinger’s pre- Catcher writings are analyzed, examining the chronological development of Holden Caulfield, citing recurring themes regarding childhood, adulthood, and beauty as related to censorship. I intend to argue that Salinger’s novel presents the final form of the character Holden Caulfield as constituted by these preceding fragments. Identification and analysis of these fragments contributes to analysis of Salinger’s treatment of censorship or “catching” in the novel; Catcher is Salinger’s final development of Holden and his thesis on censorship. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGMENTS ........................................................................................... iii Chapter 1 Five Stories .................................................................................................. 1 "Last Day in the Last Furlough"…………………………………………………2 "This Sandwich Has No Mayonnaise"…………………………………………...8 "The Stranger"…………………………………………………………………..13 "I'm Crazy"……………………………………………………………………...18 "Slight Rebellion Off Madison"……………………………………………….. 27 Fragments of Holden………….……………………………………………….
